Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aline Xavier"
- Aline Xavier's recent research primarily focuses on the characterization of hepatic fatty acids and the use of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) as a non-invasive tool for assessing nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression and treatment responses, particularly in relation to metformin and obesity models.
- Her studies highlight the potential of intrahepatic fatty acid composition as biomarkers for the transition from steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), aiming to replace invasive liver biopsies with safer diagnostic alternatives in preclinical and clinical settings.
- Beyond hepatology, Xavier has explored other health-related themes including occupational stress among nursing professionals and the coping mechanisms of individuals with sickle cell disease, emphasizing a multidisciplinary approach in her research endeavors.
